Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron had been dating for about six years since 2016 through the YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute' (hereinafter 'Garoseyeon').

Kim Soo-hyun was 28 years old at the time and Kim Sae-ron was 16, which soon became a controversy over underage dating.




According to the bereaved family, Kim had signed an exclusive contract with a gold medalist established by Kim at the recommendation of Kim in 2020. However, Kim's exclusive contract with the gold medalist was terminated when he caused a drunk driving accident in 2022. In the process of repaying 700 million won to a gold medalist in the process of dealing with the accident, Kim Sae-ron complained of enormous psychological pressure. The bereaved family said at the time that Kim Sae-ron asked his ex-lover Kim Soo-hyun "I'm not saying I won't pay you back, but if I ask for 700 million won right away, I really can't do it. It's not that I don't do it, but I can't do it. Do I have to go to the lawsuit. Please save me. Do me a favor. Kim Soo-hyun also texted, saying, "Give me time." However, Kim Soo-hyun claimed that she did not respond silently.

In this regard, Kim Soo-hyun said, "Kim Soo-hyun dated from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after Kim Sae-ron became an adult. It is not true that Kim Soo-hyun dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor, but Se-yeon has released messages shared by Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron every day, but Kim Soo-hyun has not taken a particular stance.
